About this property

A perfect Private 3 bed 2 bath apartment with AMAZING view over the Lake & POOL

We purchased the apartment new in 2019, it has been beautifully furnished for our guests to ensure a wonderful stay, with everything you need, the apartment has uninterrupted views of Lake Como and the surrounding areas. The apartment is arranged over two floors.

Having three bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping six people with a large swimming pool with sunbathing terrace with loungers available for our guests. We also have 2 recliners which you can use on the top terrace.

The ground floor of the apartment offers a comfortable living space with fully equipped kitchen, and dining area, in which to relax after a long day and enjoy the sunset and uninterrupted views of the lake from our terrace. There is also a fully equipped bathroom on the ground floor and a bunkroom sleeping 2 people (fan cooled).

The first floor has two bedrooms, the master bedroom with king size bed being furnished to a very high standard with ample wardrobe space - and stunning views of the lake. The twin bedroom is again furnished to a very high standard and has views overlooking the pool. The upstairs bathroom offers a good size shower and is fully equipped for your stay.

The apartment boasts a large balcony off the living room with outside table and chairs with amazing views over the lake which constantly change with the seasons... each one being breath taking... you can loose hours out there and it will never cease to amaze you. You simply need to see it with you own eyes.

Our apartment is situated on the first floor & second floor with its own front door on first floor level through two secure gates; parking is available off-street and there is also a secure garage for parking your car, and our own private laundry facility.

The pool is shared with 4 other apartments; 2 are occupied by two lovely older Italian couples who stay at the weekends; 2 are owned by 2 English couples. The pool is very quiet and you have plenty of personal space. We have loungers for sunbathing available to you as our guests which are kept in the laundry facility - so only for your use.

THE LOCAL AREA:
With Argegno a 5 mins drive away you will find a huge number of excellent places to eat and drink all which we send you details of prior to your trip so you can make any necessary reservations!

Local boat services offer continuous trips back and forth around the lake, visiting places such as Bellagio or Lenno - wonderful days out.

With George Clooney's house about 10 minutes away and the Villa D'Este Hotel about 15 minutes away there is always something to do...

ABOUT US:
Nigel and I found the apartment because of our love of the area; and it is my little piece of heaven and a place to relax. The apartment enjoys tranquillity and peace with bustling areas on your doorstep with the most amazing restaurants.

It is truly a little corner of paradise...……... I love nothing more than coming down in the morning and enjoying a cup of tea while watching the lake.

We are very flexible hosts and will work with you to ensure you have an amazing break.

Thank you,
Rachel

Stunning Location and Apartment

We had a fantastic stay. The location is great though you do need a car in order to pick up groceries and get to restaurants. Lovely local walks and down the hill to swim in the lake if you don't want to use the fantastic pool. Apartment was great though third bedroom is very small with no windows but a good extra space for overflow people if needed. We had a lovely stay, the apartment is very well set up with everything you need to relax and enjoy the amazing views and accommodation.

Quite difficult to get to the villa but well worth it!! The accommodation is in excellent condition and has all the amenities to enjoy a self-catering holiday. It has beautiful views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Thanks to our host, Rachel, who was always available to answer any queries.

The apartment and the view are really nice. Only car parking is difficult because of the steep entrance to the garages. Also the pool water temperature could have been warmer. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and the comfort of the apartment a lot.

This is a beautiful and well equipped apartment for rent - we had everything we needed and the owner had clearly taken a great deal of effort to make the house clean and very user friendly. It is worth noting that the house is in a hamlet with not many amenities so a car is vital - although there is a local bus which passes close. Suggest a small car as the road to the apartment is narrow and steep. If you don't want to drive be prepared to walk up and down the hill.

Week in Como

Apartment nice and comfortable. The whole area is characterized by narrow roads, steep hills and sharp corners which might be difficult to both drive and park with a larger car. However this is all forgotten when one sits in the balcony and looks at the stunning view which are better than shown on the website. A lot of good restaurants at reasonable prices within 10 minutes of the property.

Great View and Nicely Appointed

Great 180 view of lake with mountains opposite. Well appointed, fully equipped, and updated. There is a nice walking route connecting some nearby towns but you’ll want to drive to other towns for meals and outings (plenty enough close by) - not much in Colonno itself. The hillside is what gives you the view but also presents some “fun challenges” for street parking if the garage is not a good fit for for your vehicle size. All in all, a very fine option for couples, less so for children given the need to drive to most activities.

Breathtaking Views of Lake Como in Quaint Town

Overall we had an amazing time at this gorgeous, well kept, and lake front property. The view from the terrace is breath taking. The property was super clean, had a lovely swimming pool for the kids to enjoy, had functional ACs in the bedroom, well equipped kitchen and house supplies. The only thing is you will require a car to make it easy to travel around. There were limited means of transport as this property is a little remotely located. We had to travel to near by cities to catch the ferry. Finding taxis in Colonno was a bit tricky. The walk to the bus stop was also a little tricky due to winding and steep roads. It was challenging with two children In strollers. But the AMAZING view from the terrace made up for our transportation challenges! Thank you Rachel for hosting us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)

La vue à 180 sur le lac de Côme est spectaculaire, c'est clairement LE point fort de cet appartement, sur lequel l'annonce était fidèle et réaliste.L'appartement est très bien équipé, toutefois la "chambre" du rez-de-chaussée n'est pas une vraie chambre (environ 5m², pas de fenêtre, pas de clim). L'appartement était globalement propre, à l'exception des draps de la chambre parentale qui sentaient le moisi ou la sueur, nous avons dû les relaver (lorsque nous avons réalisé d'où venait l'odeur) ce qui est bien dommage, ce d'autant que le propriétaire est très regardant sur les conditions de propreté (exige que l'on nettoie les vitres avant notre départ, précise que si nous utilisons les serviettes rangées dans les placards, la lessive nous sera facturée). Le tarif du ménage étant exorbitant (400 ), nous nous attendions à une propreté irréprochable.La climatisation n'est présente que dans les 2 chambres de l'étage, l'installation est vieillissante et extrêmement bruyante (55 db), nous l'avons donc peu utilisée.Attention à la proximité des autres résidents, le balcon des voisins est à 50 cm, il n'y a aucun pare-vue, donc vous dînez côte-à-côte.L'appartement n'est pas très bien placé, la ville de Colonno étant sans intérêt, il n'y a pas de commerces, il vous faudra prendre la voiture pour tout (et galérer avec les croisements des autres véhicules dans les côtes).Le séjour fût globalement bon néanmoins, grâce à cette vue magnifique.

I am indeed very particular about cleaning. I am shocked that you say that the sheets were musty as our cleaning company confirms they were freshly laundered. I am surprised that you say you washed the sheets - there are spare sets of sheets in the bedroom drawers that you could have used. You say that we require you to clean the windows but that is not quite correct, is it. The instructions say.. "Lastly if you have small children and they have put fingerprints over ALL the glass doors can you spend 5 minutes before you leave just wiping them off….! " I hardly think that is unreasonable. Your comment about towels is not quite correct either, is it. We supply a large quantity of towels for use. What we say is that if you use more, and use towels from our linen store, then we will charge you for those - again, hardly unreasonable. As for the air-conditioning, this is an eco-friendly system as befits the world we live in, installed when the apartment was built about 5 years ago, and very regularly maintained. It is upstairs as there are multiple windows and patio doors on the ground floor which let the cooling lake air into the property - the a/c is there to make sure you have a great night's sleep! We are in a very small apartment building - 4 owners in the whole building - only one other apartment on our floor, so this is not a problem - This is our peaceful corner of paradise - hence our "Exceptional" rating on VRBO! ...oh, and shops are a five minute drive away!

Fantastic property with stunning view

This is a lovely property, well equipped, well decorated in a tranquil setting. We visited with 3 children, and although the property is suitable for children were very conscious of how quite the area is, especially with retired couples living in the two properties below. We also had a large vehicle which did not fit in the underground parking and as the drive was very steep was concerned the hand break would not hold. Lots to do in the area and nice pool. We loved the property and the area but think it would be better with older children and a smaller car.

You see the owner loves this place because she takes good care of it. Communications and so fort are good. Peace and tranquility and the view. Can't stop mentioning the view.

Thank you for your review; we are very glad that you enjoyed our beautiful apartment in its stunning location. To respond to your negative points, and to be strictly accurate, the rules of the pool are that “playing football or anything else that could disturb those present is not allowed” – which we think is a positive thing! In relation to the Wi-Fi, a new system is ordered but unfortunately Covid has delayed its installation which is imminent. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Doerr

Host profile image
Having spent many a happy year as a child in this part of Italy, and in particular on Lake Como, I have always wanted to come back here and own a property. Staying last year at Villa D'Este, sitting in the garden watching the boats on the lake as the shadows moved across the mountains with the sun setting, I made up my mind to own my own place there. After many months of looking, we came across this new build large, airy and spacious apartment with drop-dead views - and I was sold! To own there is the fulfillment of a dream - now having the opportunity to share the beauty and tranquillity with others is the culmination of the dream. Don't just take my word for it - try it; we had guests this week who want to come back for two weeks next year - that is what Vista Lago does to you!

Why they chose this property

We set out to furnish this property on a no expense spared basis. It is an apartment in a very small block - there are 4 other residents - and so it is quiet, with what feels like exclusive use of the pool! You are part of a small lake village, so yes occasionally dogs bark, or you can hear the clink of glasses as the locals sit down to their dinner in the evening. To sit on the terrace, with 180 degree uninterrupted views of the lake, be it as the sun is coming up in the morning and you start to see the ripple on the water of the lake caused by the lake paddlesteamer or as the sun sets in the evening and the shadows on the hillsides on the other side of the lake make the most beautiful of shapes, Vista Lago is, to us, unique. Add in the pool, the sun terrace around the pool - and there is a terrace off our front door that allows you to sit and watch the kids playing in the pool - truly a piece of paradise for people of all ages.

What makes this property unique

The view. The peacefulness. The pool. The standard of furnishing. The position. all unique to us...……... we love spending time with friends and showing the around the beautiful area.... there is something for everyone!
